About

The Arthur W. Page Center for Integrity in Public Communication is a research center in Penn State's Donald P Bellisario College of Communications dedicated to the study and advancement of ethics and responsibility in corporate communication and other forms of public communication.

Page, the longtime vice president for public relations at AT&T, is often regarded as the founder of the modern practice of corporate public relations.  He also was a noted educator, publisher, and adviser to several U.S. presidents.  Page was the first person in a public relations position to serve as an officer and director of a major corporation and, in that capacity, was widely known for management according to the Page Principles, his guidelines for ethical and effective communication with the public and for responsible corporate behavior.  The Center was created in 2004 to foster a modern understanding and application of the Page Principles by supporting innovative research, educational, or public service projects in a wide variety of academic disciplines and professional fields.
